Hello from the other side of the world! I'm not sure how this happened, but I've neglected to blog for 4 months! So much has happened and I've been away so long I don't even know how to begin to catch up. So, I guess I'll start at the beginning with our arrival in Shanghai. I had started writing this post, but got busy and totally forgot to post it (please excuse the present tense) . So....back up to the beginning of December:
We arrived safely in our new home city tired, but not too traumatized from the 17+ hours of flying. Miss Cora did pretty well and was only fussy for a few hours out of the entire flight. We're currently staying in a fancy serviced apartment/hotel while we hunt for an apartment to rent.

Unfortunately, when we arrived, Shanghai pulled out it's worst air pollution to welcome us. For the first few days, we experienced record levels of air pollution. Quite a damper on our plans to explore the area. Luckily, our hotel is connected to a mall so we spent lots of time walking around the mall.
Cora and daddy, checking out the pollution:
This is how we go outside:
On the days when it's bad, we stay inside and take pictures to pass the time. Me and my mini-me:
Unfortunately, Cora did not fit into her skinny jeans...
These pictures basically sum up our relationship:
"Mom, you're smothering me!"
"But I love you anyway."
